The roots would probably appreciate a light cover of soil, compost, or organic mulch add on top. Daylilies don't naturally grow exposed to air like this and while they may well survive, they won't be at their best.

Lysimachia nummularia?

Thank you both for the I.D. and information. Knowning it was a Euphorbia I wasn't planning on cutting or pruning until I had a positive I.D. Doesn't seem like a very popular plant and I can see why. I'm growing mine outdoors in a very small pot to keep the size in check. No kids or pets around so it looks like I'll keep it and definitely wear gloves if the need to prune arises. It just has a unique appeal to me. Again thanks for the responses and the warning. What a great site!

Thank you everyone. Thank you for taking time to help me I.D this one. It is really frustrating that I already wrote out a lengthy "well thought out" response, thanking you all, with an updated photo and some thoughts .... only to NOT see it appear at all!!! Even weeks after I originally posted it!! I was hoping it would go through their filters and suddenly pop up (like a previous post did) but i have no idea where it went for now, hope it pops up still. Very frustrating Houzz!! I liked the old gardenweb platform much better.
